Reydon is a village and civil parish, north-west from Southwold and south east of Wangford in Waveney District and the ceremonial county of Suffolk in England. It has a population of 2,567,〔(Office for National Statistics : ''Census 2001 : Parish Headcounts : Waveney'' ) Retrieved 2009-12-26〕 rising slightly to 2,582 at the 2011 Census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parish population 2011 )〕 The name probably means ''Rye Hill'', ''Rey'' meaning rye and ''-don'' being an old English word for hill or rise).〔Taken from East Anglian Daily Times. 20 October 2007. Page 37〕 The village is close to the cliffs at Easton Bavents, and like the lost village of Easton, it was established before Southwold was. The parish church is St Margaret of Antioch.〔(The Suffolk Churches Site ). Retrieved 2009-01-26〕 There are three main roads through Reydon, around which the village is built. These are: * A1095 Halesworth Road heading west (Leading to Blythburgh and Halesworth) * B1126 Wangford Road heading northwest through Reydon (Leading to Wangford) * B1127 Lowestoft Road heading northeast (Leading to Wrentham and Lowestoft) The village of Reydon lies to the north of the town of Southwold. The three roads from Wangford, Wrentham and Halesworth converge at Reydon Corner, about 100 metres from where Mights Bridge crosses over Buss Creek, and which provides the only road bridge entry to Southwold. == Services == There are only two shops in Reydon. In 2007 the Royal Mail decided to remove the post office facilities as part of a plan to reduce financial losses. This move was strongly opposed by many people living in Reydon, but the sub-post office closed on 11 February 2008, although the associated shop continues. Reydon also has one public house (and hotel with restaurant) known as ''The Randolph Hotel'' on the Wangford Road.〔(The Randolph Hotel )〕 It was briefly renamed "The Cricketers", due to the adjacent locality of Southwold's former Eversley School cricket ground and playing fields. It reverted to its original name after a few years. The cricket ground has since been sold off, and housing built upon it. Further along is a group of new houses which have been built on the site of the former senior school (Reydon Modern, it was renamed Reydon High after converting to a comprehensive in 1978) which closed in 1990. Continuing along towards Wangford is St Margaret's Church (see below), then Reydon Hall, at one time the home of the writers, Elizabeth Strickland, Agnes Strickland, Jane Margaret, Catharine Parr, Susanna Moodie and Samuel Strickland.〔Rosemary Mitchell, ‘Strickland, Agnes (1796–1874)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 (accessed 26 May 2015 )〕 Reydon Wood is popular with walkers, especially in the springtime, when it is a carpet of bluebells. There is sheltered accommodation on the Lowestoft Road. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reydon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
